I like thin crust hand tossed with a good sauce not overly seasoned
and a
blend of cheeses. I don't care for bread with sauce and cheese on
top.
Greek style pan pizza is pretty good too.
I like it the way you do. *Never had the Greek style.

"Blended cheeses?"
Sounds like Chippewa Falls pizza.
Some cheddar, muenster, colby, swiss, etc.
No thanks. *Just the mozz.

A friend of mine has a joint in Chicago and when talking to him about
it he
says the cheese available here is not the same. *Also, I like sausage
and
nothing here compares favorably to Chicago for me.

That's ok. *I'll eat an extra one every week - and dedicate it to you.

Here the green peppers, mushrooms and onions are ok, but you can't
make a
pizza to suit my taste with just those. *The big hang-up for me is
the
cheese, too "watery" and makes the curst all soggy. *I've had some
good thin
crust here, but the cheese spoils it.

I like sausage on my pizza too. *Even there, touch is important.
Better too little than too much. *Too much can overwhelm the sauce and
mozz. *There's a place near U of Chicago I went to for lunch when
painting a house in Hyde Park. *Popular with the students, but I never
tried it. *Ground the sausage. *Kept me from trying it. *Didn't look
right.
Wife has brought home frozen pizzas with that ground sausage.
It's just not right. *Sausage should be in chunks, so you can chew it.
Then you got the sauce. *Some are too sweet for me. *Nancy's had a
real acidic sauce. *Gave up on them.
Went to lunch with some suburb folks when I worked a McD HQ.
Roosevelt Road I recall, near Oakbrook.
They raved about the pizza. *Sauce tasted like - ketchup.
Another lunch in an Oakbrook Plaza restaurant this same crew was
ordering something called California pizza. *Pineapple on it.
Damn, it's lucky I'm not a lunch person. *I'd starve.

I hope to have Pauley's report shortly. *I'm getting hungry...if I
wasn't
headed for the golf course I may have gone there for lunch.

Good luck. *And don't be kind with your criticism.
Pizza demands truth.

It's hell being a Chicago pizza snob like me. *For the most part it's
probably what you grew up with. *I'm glad I grew up in Chicago.

Nothing down here with anything close to the Chicago style pizza
sausage. Green pepper, onion and mushroom is the only toppings I will
order here.

O' for some good mozzarella!

I'll appreciate you thinking of us down here when you have your next
cheese and sausage pizza. *Could you do it today, please.
You do love your cholesterol, don't you?
I just remembered one reason I like Greek pan pizza. They make it with
heart healthy olive oil. The pizzas are a little greasy and might not
have a crispy enough crust to suit your taste. Try one at Takis on 441
in Leesburg if you get a chance.

I've been to Takis in Leesburg several years ago. *Can't remember if I
had pizza or not. *Probably had gyros another of my favorites and down
here are pretty good, especially over in Tarpon Springs.

Do you live anywhere close to this area, or is that a closely guarded
secret?
Unfortunately due to the presence of a certain low life element on
rec.boats it is prudent not to reveal one's precise location.
